Joke of the week [342 = year 7, #30] the
pitfalls of copying (February 2, 2009 - February 8, 2009)

Murphy
applied for a position at an Irish firm. An American applied for the same job
and as both applicants had the same qualifications the manager asked them to take
a test. Upon completing the test both men had missed one question. The manager
said to Murphy, "Thanks for your interest, but we've given the job to the
American." Murphy said, "Why would you do that? We both got nine
questions correct. This is Ireland and I'm Irish. I should get the job!"
The manager replied, "Well, we based our decision on the question you
missed." "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the
other?" Murphy wanted to know. "Well", replied the manager,
"that's simple. The American's answer to question five was, 'I don't know.'
Yours was 'Neither do I'."
